I genuinely enjoyed this. Possibly more than Out of Character. I especially loved that there was not third act break up between Milo and Jasper. Truly hoping that Annabeth Albert comes out with another contemporary romance.

Much better than the 1st installment - Unconventionally Yours. This book is sweet, full of second chances and hope. The "let me be the hero" got a bit repetitive towards the end, but I really enjoyed it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC of this book!

When Milo shows up looking for rare Odyssey cards, Jasper wants nothing to do with him. But Jasper reluctantly agrees to help Milo and learns that he may have changed since what happened in High School. They go on a quest to get the cards back for Milo, and both realize they are falling for each other along the way.

This is such a cute rom-com! I really do like both characters and the way they developed throughout the story. I thought there was so much growth that happened and I liked the way the second chance was given. The relationship was cute and feelings felt real!

This was a quick paced and happy read for the nerdy romance lover! You could read this without having read Conventionally Yours first, but if you have, you'll get some nice cameos of your old favorites!
